What reading level is How to Make Over Old Dresses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
27 Chapter VII.
GET A GOOD PATTERN.
Suppose you are so situated that you can send out and buy a paper pattern of a good, reliable pattern store.
This is very nice, but if you have had any experi- ence in buying paper patterns, you have noticed that sometimes they fit imperfectly. In measur- ing for a paper pattern, the size of the waist, the bust measure, the length of the arm — and possi- bly the collar — is all that is ever taken, except in exceptionally good patterns. Frequently only the bus...t measure is called for. This leaves a wide latitude for misfits. The waist may be too long or too short, the sleeves too tight or too loose, the armholes may go entirely astray, and the fit of the back is sometimes so faulty that the back pieces must be cut over again.
It is better to have a good pattern of your own that you can depend upon — one that you have made yourself.
To obtain one take an old waist, the best fit- ting one that you have, even if it be a calico house dress. Make alterations in it until it fits perfectly, without a flaw.
